Recipe: Keto Biscuits and Gravy
Ingredients:
For the Keto Biscuits:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Keto Sausage Gravy:
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage (choose a sugar-free variety)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
For the Keto Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured surface (you can use additional almond flour for dusting). Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
- Use a biscuit cutter or a glass with a 2.5-inch (6 cm) diameter to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll the scraps to cut out additional biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
For the Keto Sausage Gravy:
- While the biscuits are baking, cook the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it into crumbles and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- Reduce the heat to low, and slowly whisk in the unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- If you want a thicker gravy, sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture and whisk continuously until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
